I think colonization (at least the latter parts, maybe WWI and after) has been unjustly demonized. I live in a previously colonized country, and let me tell you, The Germans and then the British knew how to run this country better than the locals ever did, even today. For 30 years after independence, the people literally starved under communism. And the president of the time is still regarded a hero, despite people remembering the mass famine!
